D&D General How you would have done the Dungeons and Dragons' movie - 80's edition

[mamba]

There was also this thing called "Icewind Dale Trilogy" coming out shortly after Dragonlance, so you could do a movie set up the novel series

out of the two I’d go with DL, that trilogy alone has sold about the same as RA Salvatore overall

And don't forget putting lasers in somewhere.

I'd adapt one of R.A. Salvatore's lesser known but, in my honest opinion, better written book series: The Spear Wielder's Tale trilogy.

[Edit: Ooo! Or the old Legendlore/The Realm comics!]

I’d center it around a group of college-aged players, with the lead played by an up-and-coming A-lister like Tom Hanks.. oh..

I love Icewind Dale but I feel like Dragonlance had that epic arc that would've fit well in a trilogy, especially after the end of the original Star Wars movies.

Um, actually...

The bad guy mooks in Krull had laser guns. So that's covered.

 

[Shades of Eternity]

yeah I would make all magic swords bright neon.

They were also alien slug things in humanoid powered armor shells, so there's some serious sci-fi going on in Krull.

Krull was a way better movie than a lot of its peers. James Horner’s soundtrack is awesome.

I love Krull. I bought Horner's Krull double CD box set when it first went out of print and it set me back over $120. I still consider it among his best work (if not THE best work).
